Dear Neighbor,
I am running for a seat on the ACSA Board to bring back accountably and transparency to the Aquarina community.
Since our current and recent past ACSA Boards have taken the position that AGI is separate and do not need our vote to spend our money, have they mentioned to you that the Water Company was now sold? In addition, one past employee there said that our “wastewater recovery system” is barely working and that if it goes down, there is a six month wait for spare parts that are required, which could take down our water company. Besides an issue at your home, no sewage system would mean that the Brassie Grill could be closed for months. As a resident owner at Aquarina, you own and have a mortgage for the Golf course and Club, Brassie, Beach Club, and Tennis Club of over $2,000,000 all of us are responsible for. No funds coming in, could mean higher HOA fees. In addition, it was mentioned at the last meeting that if the business’s failed, that bankruptcy was a possibility.
Our current AGI Board thinks that they are allowed to suspend you from using our clubs and golf course without due process. As a HOA owner of these businesses, are you aware that our ACSA Board is required to get three non-board members to approve these actions after hearing the facts before they can suspend you?
Currently, there are really no benefits from spending your money with these businesses that you help pay for. Shouldn’t we have some advantages other than buying yearly memberships.
Many neighbors think I am running for the Board to stop any spending on the Brassie Grille. Nothing could be further from the truth. My running has to do with ACSA and AGI following the law, which they have not done according to a number of attorneys that are experts in dealing with HOA laws.
Vote to make sure you can review all financials and have a say in what is spent or even what chemicals are sprayed on the golf course.
Best Regards,
Gary
